Democratic Decline.
New York World lDem.l

-
Gen. Clark, the clerk of the house Of
representatives, says that ''the minimum
Democratic clear majority overa all in the
present house will be ten, and it may he
fourteen" There are four vacancies
two in this state, one in Rhode Island
and one in Louisiana. If Rhode Island
elects q Republican the vote by states
on the choice of the next president, if
the election should be thrown into the
house, would stand: Republican, 90
jnst enough to elect; Democratic, II, and
New Hampshier tied.
Whats contrast this is to the last house,
in which the Democrats had 43 majority,
while the vote by states stood, Demo-
cratic. 10; Republican l6; ties three.
Yet when the last house of representa-
tives was elected tho Republicans held
tho government and the Democrats were
%ostracized from the federal service, while
the present house was chosen after q
democratic administration had been
nearly two years in control ut Washing
ton.
Who will contend, after this, that the
possession of power and patronage is all
that Is needed to make q political party
strong?

THEY SHOULD BE PROTECTED.

A Washington telegram, referring to
the indemnify land matter, concludes
as follows:
There is every probability, however,
that the Northern Pacific will win, and
the rights of the people who purchased
the land in good faith will be protected.
tits proper that The people who pur-
chased in good faith should be protected.
The government cannot afford to dis
possess these people. 1t cannot afford
to deal in injustice. The rights of a
railroad corporation are not SO much
at stake as are the rights of the thous-
ands Of people who have paid their
money forlands and made valuable i'm.
prove,nents upon them. The policy
which deprives a man of what he has
purchased and made valuable is akin to
nihilism. Itmay make a few votes for the
demagogs who created and are endeav-
oring to enforce that policy, but it is q
wicked thrust at vested rights, and will
surely be discountenanced by the high.
er legal tribunals.

The Dominant South.
Mclean County Nail,


There is food for reflection for every
voter before he casts his vote next No
vember. If he votes against division.
and ''no division should carry, and
Dakota is admitted rs ono state, his vote
for over afterwards will amount to
naught in tho selection of tho state Off
GERS. South Dakota, having a clear ma
jority, will always nominate and elect
the state officers, and then these anti
divisionists will have plenty of oppor-
tunity to whine about South Dakota COB
bling all the offices. Vote tor division
and if we are admitted as two states, the
north can elect their own officers with
out q fear of a ~domineering south. Our
word for it If 'no division carries, the
next legislature will o the capital
from Bismarck to Huron, and that Gov.
latter place, will approve such al act
and then we will be lett alone to suck
our fingers. ~

FARM SCIENCE.

What the ISTER-O OCEAN doesn't know
about farming would make a big book,
but we have a few indistinct general
ideas or the subject which may be of
service in assisting our agricultural
friends toward the goal of their natural
ambition to become perfect farmers.
In the first place, don't oyertax your
land. Although 1t is true that North
Dakota soil is "as rich as a bed of com.
post" it can be handled IN a way that
will prove detrimental to its productive
qualities in a very short time. Better
adopt the plan of summer.fallowing one
year and cropping two. This will give
your land rest and permit you to till
two-thirds Of your farm so that it will
produce as much as the whole.
Secondly, pillow old land little deeper
each year. The grain producing quail.
tiles Of the upper soil will soon become
exhausted, and it will be found neces
sary to bring up the lower soll-strata to
insure good results, permitting the ex.
hausted strata to 60 back and become
impregnated with the alkalines which
produce the gluten in wheat. Summer
following and deep blowing will obviate
the necessity offertilizing in this country
for many years.
Thirdly, don't be carried away witt
the idea that you will get an immense
yield of wheat every year. One i'm
mense yield in three years is above tn,
average. If YOU have made any mon
ey this year raising wheat, oats and pc
tatoes, put some of it into good breed
of stock. Don't buy more horses thai
you need. Cattle are the most profit
able. Have a couple of good yoke o
oxen. True they are slow, but thei
keeping will cost less than tho keep
ing of horses. Two yoke of oxel
costing 1925 each yoke will do as mucl
work as three horses that cost you the
same amount per head, and itcosts less
to feed them. Then, when they gre
old and begin to fail, fatten and sci
them for beef. You can't sell your OLE
horses and mules for beef-not in Mort
Dakota.
If any of our farmers feel that the,

A sCATHING CRITICISM.
A Democratic Orator on Cleveland
and Church.

A Democratic Orator on Cleveland
and Church.
JAMESTOWN, Oak, Oct. III. w. Good
rich of this city has received from Amos
Coggswell, an old and able attorney and
public speaker of Owatonna. MINI. q
letter, some extracts of which are given
below:
The criticism upon tho Church admin
istration and the actions of Cleveland in
appointing nonresident imbeciles IL
we'll merited. Our platform says that
the selection Of federal officers for the
territories should be restricted to citi-
zens previously residents therein. But
when h president made up his mind to
violate that law he ought to have selec-
ted men who had some brains and manly
traits, and who would have been a credit
to the party. Church was no moro fit to
be judge or governor of your territory
than a hair-lipped mule is for a teacher
of music. I saw him when he was
pretending to hold court at Gary, and he
seemed to be a good cross between a
he belonged to our party. He lacked in
good sense, good judgment and good
manners. saying nothing about his lack
of knowledge of the rudiments Of law.
His efforts seem to be to impress the
people with his wonderful greatness and
power. 1t is such appointments as
this that has made us a laughing
stock and Disguised the men in the party
and created d%issension in our ranks.
Goodrich, / tell you frankly that I tear
our party will be buried out of sight at
the next presidential election. The mon
who have stood by our party through
thick and thin, and at the times when it
nearly cost them their lives, these men
have been snubbed and cast aside by
this administration and those or many Of
them, who one denounced us as copper
heads and traitors recruited by a Younger
crop who pretend to be better than our
party, are pushed to the front. The re-
suit will be disastrous. A new doctrine,
too is sought to be interpolated in our
creed, and that is that federal oficehold-
ers must not be active in the caucusses
and conventions. This doctrine, if car
ried out, will ruin any party in power.
If Cleveland should be our candidate again
and insist upon the enforcement of this
new dogma, he would be beaten as Ben
Butler was at the last election. In your
territory there are many of the best
Offices now held by pronounced Repub-
I,Iiicans. This is not Democratic. I don't
believe in feeding the mouth that curses
me nor filling the hand that stabs me. I
believe in rewarding my friends and let
ting my enemest take care of themselves.

BISMARCK ANSWERED..
Some Anti DIVISION Arguments
Rafilfad.

Retuted.
NJ. H. Jewell, editor of the Bismarck
Tribune, was in Minneapolis recently,
and being interviewed by a Journal re-
porter, made certain statements which
the editor of the INrER-OcEAN felt in
duty bound to reply to, as follows:
Editor Journal: My friend Jewell, Of
the Bismarck Tribune, permitted him.
self to be interviewed by a Journal re-
porter on the division question. He
MAKES some startling assertions which
should not go unanswered. First, he
states that the division movement is
''the work Of politicians" The facts do
not bear him out in this statement.
There were no politicians in the Fargo
convention. Alex Mckenzie was not
there; he lisa politician and opposed to
division. Mr. Jewell, who represents
the Mckenzie idea in his paper, was
not there; he is politician and opposed
to division. Major Edwards wal not
there, although invited to be present as
a spectator; he is a politician and a fol-
lower of the Bismarck boss.
In fact, Mr.. Editor, not n of the
men who have in the past assumed to
dictate and manage the politics of North
Dakota, who have laid their plans to
capture and control the conventions of
South Dakota, and who have hitherto
succeeded, in their own peculiar way.
in obstructing the honest sentiment of
the people throughout all the territory
NOT one Of the politicians Of this class
was present at the ..rgo convention.
So much fol Mr.. JEWELS assertion that
division is 1.-THE work of politicians"
Mr.. Jewell then goes on to say:
I'll tell you what we of the northern part of the
territory believe. We believe that If the southern part
of the territory is admitted as . state 1t will bs q long
time before the northern part will be admitted-or will
be kept in territorial boundaries indefinitely.
This is an unfair statement of the case;
in fact it Is almost dishonest. Mr.. Jew
ell knows that division il a distinct ques-
ton, and has nothing whatever to do
with the admission of either half of the
territory. The vote on the 9Th of No.
vember refers solely to the question OF
division. Itgives no advantage to South
Dakota; it does not deprive the north
of the right of admission equally with
the south when the time comes. Both
sections have the requisite popula'
ton to entitle them to 9" emission as two
states. Wm AZ" !::'::';: :.::

German H. Hunt, of Poole & Hunt,
thinks the deal meals that the B. & 0. is
out oStrouble. He always held that Gar
rett made a mistake in striving to reach
PHILADELPHIA and New York, and that his
efforts in that direction involved the road
in financial straits.
On the Stock Exchange this morning B.
& o. stock opened steady at the closing
price oflast night-150 bid-and continued
firm oil day, being quoted at the close OF
the second call at Isl.
Mr.. VIM. F. Burns, President pro tenn. OF
the B. & o. Railroad, to-day supplemented
the statement he made last night with the
following: 1.-THE comments of the press of
the city of Baltimore and the correspond
ents, together with Mr.. CARROTS dealings
with Ives and Staynor, did more TO ipjure
the credit of the road than anything else,
and il was that that prevented the COM
pany from borrowing a dollar" Mr..
Burns is Of the opinion that the railroad Is
now in better financial condition than it
has ever been before.
There is but little excitement here con-
sequent upon the last deal of the B. q D.
K. r. Co. 1t has thus far had no effect
upon the stock, for which Isl was bid at
the close to day. 1t is thought, however,
that there will he decline, and probably
to 100, the par value of the shares. Little
doubt is entertained here that dividend,
in cash or scrip, will be declared at the
October meeting Of the Board Of Directors.
A very general impression prevails that the
new deal will be for the best interests Of
